BARREL ARTILLERY VOLUMETRIC BLAST AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F42B12/52 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ammunition for volumetric explosion of barrel artillery. Ammunition for volumetric explosion of barrel artillery contains a shell housing, in which fuel, an explosive substance and a bottom fuse are placed. In the bottom part there is a cast-iron partition with a conical hole in the central part, resting on the insulating gasket from the front part, and in the rear part—on the spacer sleeve filled with explosive substance with the installed bottom fuse pressed by the bottom nut fixedly connected to the rear part of the housing. Inside the housing on the inner walls there is a layer of a paste-like combustible substance in the form of napalm or white phosphorus. In front part conical part of shell with insulating gasket from fragile material in the form of tempered glass is screwed on the body. At the top of the front part there is an inlet valve for pumping under pressure of a combustible-air mixture inside the housing and a thin ballistic cap from brittle steel material is rigidly fixed.

EFFECT: shorter time for formation of a cloud of a combustible-air mixture and providing direction of the blast wave.
